Bucky’s Basement Podcast
The Basement is a place where 3 friends dive deep into the world of Nicolas Cage on our Casting Cage episodes, where we watch, dissect, and celebrate his legendary performances. Then, get ready for some off-the-cuff creativity on Fast Pitch, where we take random word-generated titles and turn them into original movie ideas on the spot. It’s a mix of movie love, improv, and absurd fun—all from the depths of Bucky’s Basement. Listen now and explore more at buckysbasement.com

We always wonder if Fast Pitch could be turned into a party game. So, we threw a mini-party with the ladies at the Toxic Waste of Time Podcast: Katie Booth & Ivy Hensley.
And boy howdy, did they knock it out of the park! We also played their opening episode segment: Icebreaker (which was a blast). We have a lot of great episodes, but this one goes into the books as a top highlight. Added bonus, Bucky does a tango ...This week we are super excited to have special guests Katie Boothe & Ivy Hensley from the Toxic Waste of Time podcast in the studio for an episode of Fast Pitch. But before we get into that madness, we decided to get to know them and their podcast a little better... and to find out of they know about the secret Joe C tribute in Kid Rocks Donkey Show & Steakhouse in downtown Nashville. Only God Knows Why...
We've all been there. Sitting in Hell when you learn some velvety, backwoods cult leader has kidnapped your granddaughter for some nefarious, world-dominating scheme.
So, you do what you have to and bust out of Hades in a sick ride, equipped with the devil's own magic shotgun to hunt down evil rednecks. But you're missing some element to complete your mission, so you seek out a ridiculously hot, foul-mouthed waitress ...Did you know Bucky's Basement is on the Dark Web? Yep. Along with all your other favorite...interests. So jump on that Tor search engine and find our latest Fast Pitch if you dare. We can't (legally) post what the episode is about here. But a special guest unexpectedly found us while we were recording and made it something unique.
And if you're not brave enough for the Dark Web, you can always find us on your preferred...Two Crusade Bros have had enough of the Holy Land — too much sun, too much guilt, too many swords in too many people. They desert, wander back to Europe, and find the whole continent has gone janky.
Plague everywhere. Crops dead. Vibes: rancid. Hair: surprisingly good. The culprit? A witch. Obvs. When has a woman ever not been responsible for a continent-wide supernatural catastrophe? Classic. &nbs...The Sack delivered something rare this week — four one-word titles. That means everyone gets their own word, their own pitch, their own movie.
With Film Editor Ryan Kendrick joining as special guest, that's four totally unique, completely off-the-cuff pitches — each with Plot, Cast, Tagline, and Movie Marriages. This week, the Sack giveth: Stranger. Neighborhood. When. Frogman. Four titles. Four pitches. Pure e...INT. BUCKY’S BASEMENT NIGHT
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
The basement door slowly opens.
CREEEEEEAK.
A SMALL PAPER BAG sits on the doorstep — ON FIRE.
BUCKY (yelling back inside) IT’S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE FLAMING BAGS!
From deeper in the studio:
OLDBOY Don’t put it out with your boots!
Too late.
Bucky stomps the flames out with his leather magician shoe.
He pauses.
Something was inside the bag.
Slowly, h...
The Sack has spoken, and this week it delivered something truly unprecedented: Snow Yogurt and Green.
You read that right. Joining us in the studio is special guest and Nashville comedian Lisle Jones, making it a four-pitch showdown for the ages. Casts, Movie Marriages, Taglines — all built from the ground up with backs against the wall and absolutely no dignity to spare. And somehow, through the beautiful cha...Welcome to Bucky's Basement! This week, we're suiting up for a **Casting Cage** episode covering the 2010 indie superhero cult hit: *Kick-Ass*.
Critically acclaimed and fan-adored, this one stars Nic Cage, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and a whole lot of people getting hit really hard. The guys break down the subplots, the style, the surprisingly deep character work, and a whole lotta Bi...This week on Fast Pitch, The Sack giveth a coveted 3-Word Title: The Posh Climber.
Where can the guys take us with a title like that? Mt. Everest... in style? A String Cheese Incident show... also in style ? Or maybe a documentary (ahem) about a flower? Yeah. We go there. Same title. Three movies. Zero dignity. Always unique. Always fresh. In 15 minutes or less. Only on Bucky's Basement.Sometimes when you stare directly into the sun you can still see the sun when you look away. Like the image is burned into your retina, and your mind. And sometimes when you watch a lot of Nic Cage movies he just becomes burned into your mind, popping out at the most inopportune times. For example, when you're trying to record a podcast episode that has nothing to do with him, but he couldn't take not being in the...
Remember Knowing? The sci-fi, apocalyptic, sorta-religious action flick where Nic Cage deciphers a string of numbers that predict global catastrophes. And the numbers? They don't lie.
We're unpacking alien angels, questionable ciphers, and a story that's ultimately about finding faith — even when that faith is convoluted, chaotic, and kind of pointless. Just like our review process. We're faithful to one thing...Welcome back to Bucky’s Basement.
This week on Fast Pitch, the Sack giveth… “Watching Dawn, The Heavy Cleaner.” Yeah. Let that one marinate. With only 15 minutes each to build a full movie — complete with Cast, Tagline, and Movie Marriage — what direction will the guys take? Is sci-fi in the cards? What about an origin story? Or something closer to home, ripped from...This week on Bucky’s Basement, Fast Pitch pulls the title Don’t Rico Asteroids from the Sack—and the Sack, as usual, shows no mercy.
Undeterred, the boys rise to the challenge with three wildly different interpretations: a futuristic sci-fi parable about classism and moral responsibility, an alien invasion orchestrated by a bottom-feeding film producer, and an unexpectedly earnest origin story for the classic arca...This week, Bucky’s Basement dusts off another Casting Cage episode with 2007’s National Treasure: Book of Secrets, a sequel that proves American history has even more secret compartments than previously disclosed.
Nic Cage returns as Benjamin Gates, this time chasing the mythical City of Gold, Cibola, while reuniting with his whiny daddy (Jon Voight), his ex (Diane Kruger), his trusty sidekick (Justin Bartha), and rac...WE BACK!!!!! KINDA!!!!
Bucky, Oldboy, and Juicebox got back in the studio to make sure we remembered how to do this whole podcast thing. We'll be back next week with a new episode of Casting Cage. In the meantime, enjoy us being us.
